Xzibit

Inglewood native Koache returns to one of his hottest tracks of the year, “Turn Me Back,” on this super-smooth, Nottz-produced remix featuring guest vocals from Xzibit, Demrick, and Quan. The original track appeared on Koache’s ‘Game Point’ album, which dropped this past March on LOTZAH. And it, too, featured a head nodding instrumental from Nottz, along with a strong guest verse from X-to-the-Z. But on the remix, the Virginia producer flipped his approach entirely by ditching the grit of the original track, for a jazzier, more laid-back sound. As a result, there’s a slightly somber edge to “Turn Me Back.” It’s a fitting vibe, however, because the track deals with the knowledge that no matter how much you try to change your ways, trouble will always find you. That message is driven home on the hook, where Quan croons, “I’m just tryna chill and leave the trouble behind me…” Be sure to catch Koache performing live this Saturday (Nov. 19) as part of the Hip-Hop Weekly Soundstage & Interview Suite. It goes down at 6356 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles if you’re in the area, but you can also catch it live-streaming on on HipHopWeekly’s Facebook page.
